While in America, the system says Roosevelt was an emperor.

Chapter 185 The Despicable Emperor

Standing by the coffee table, Tom didn't know what to do.

It's all that wretched Emperor's fault for giving Tom so much attention, causing the "Four Wastes' Attention Points" to drop to zero.

This led to Dani transforming from a Slaanesh into a normal human form.

If it weren't for the Emperor's gaze, Tom wouldn't be standing here at a loss.

Comforting Slaanesh is much easier than comforting a normal person like Dani; just make little Tom suffer a bit.

But now, for the sake of Denise's safety, Tom's comforting method is completely unusable.

Even with his intelligence rating at its peak of 8.0, Tom couldn't come up with a way to soothe Denise's emotions.

There's no way around it; emotions, especially women's emotions, are problems that intelligence alone can't solve.

When Einstein wanted to marry his cousin, he had to divorce his first wife.

If high intelligence alone could control a woman's lucidity, Einstein would have been having a threesome long ago.

After much deliberation, Tom decided to give Denise time and space to figure things out for herself.

Tom neatly arranged the breakfast, then called out towards the warp battlefield, "Dani, I have something to do, so I've left your breakfast on the table."

Tom then left a note on the table and left the apartment building without looking back.

Tom had no way to quickly soothe Diane's emotions, and he couldn't possibly devote all his time to her.

Tom has his own career and work to attend to, and his time with Denise is on the condition that it doesn't interfere with his main job.

Although Denise is Tom's guide and benefactor, Tom must walk his own path in the future.

If you get too attached to Diane, you'll only be letting down the person who helped you in the first place.

Tom could tell which was more important and which was less important.

After Tom left, Denise, with her stomach rumbling loudly, went downstairs to eat.

Seeing several of her favorite dishes calmed Dani down considerably.

Halfway through their meal, Denise also saw the note left by Tom.

Dani thought to herself:

It's definitely an apology letter. I'm magnanimous, so I won't be angry with you anymore.

Denise didn't look at the note and continued eating noisily.

After a hearty meal, Denise curiously opened the note Tom had left, which read:

Remember to put the leftover food in the refrigerator.

Here are the maximum storage times for each dish; do not eat it after that time.

Steamed buns: refrigerate for two days; lamb offal noodles: refrigerate for one day, but storage is not recommended as the texture will be very poor after reheating.

Finally, if you're using a steamer to heat the food, remember to add plenty of water to prevent the steamer from drying out.

You silly goose, you've steamed it dry countless times.

As Denise looked at the letter that had nothing to do with an apology, tears streamed down her face.

Women are such amazing creatures.

The more you explain, the more she thinks you're hiding something.

If you casually move on and show her through your actions that you still care about her, she will be moved to tears and naturally overlook your previous mistakes.

Of course, the above tips and experiences are specific to Tom and may not be universally applicable.

After seeing the newspaper, Dani would at most throw a little tantrum at Tom.

But others see it differently.

For example, Senator Robert Roth and Senator William, who are currently in Washington, have completely different views.

Tom's matter has blown up so much that it's hard for Emperor Luo to ignore it.

The 4,000-strong "MNYG!" army, without any clear organization, challenged the state government and state police.

If Tom were to deliberately guide them, they would become a vital force.

Tom's army of four thousand iron rods, "MNYG!", can be considered a major military secret, and Emperor Luo could not possibly ignore it.

After Emperor Luo understood the whole process, he was no longer worried and let Tom do as he pleased.

For Emperor Luo, Tom's actions only needed to be judged by their impact.

While Emperor Luo never actively used religion to win over people's hearts, he knew about the situation in America—a religious country disguised as capitalism.

Therefore, Emperor Luo chose to turn a blind eye to Tom's religious underhanded tactics.

After all, the deeper foundation of the United States is Social Darwinism.

As long as Tom doesn't break the mainstream "dining rules" of the upper class, Emperor Luo can tolerate whatever Tom does.

Tom's ability to incite a 4,000-strong "MNYG!" army to riot at the state government and bombard the state police department is a testament to his skill.

More importantly, the 4,000-strong "MNYG!" army was completely under control, and the conflict was stopped as soon as Tom intervened.

Emperor Luo believed that under Tom's leadership, the Ironclad "MNYG!" army would be very disciplined.

After all, Tom is a man with "great power" who is extremely law-abiding.

Those who follow the rules are always favored by those in power.

Because those in the upper class become so by following the rules.

Of course, there is a premise: that his own position cannot be threatened.

Otherwise, even if you threaten the other party's position by relying on the rules, the other party will still break the rules and retaliate against you.

Herbert is the best example.

Besides the seemingly reasonable speculations above, the more important reason why Emperor Luo chose to let Tom go was that the 4,000-strong "MNYG!" army was not entirely under his control.

If Tom really does get into trouble, at this critical juncture, the 4,000 ironclad "MNYG!" army will immediately riot!

Even if Emperor Luo wanted to take action against Tom, he would have to wait until the momentum of the four thousand ironclad "MNYG!" army had subsided.

Emperor Luo not only subjectively didn't want to touch Tom, but also had some objective reasons why he couldn't touch Tom.

Making the decision to target Tom carries far more risk than any potential small gain.

Whether Emperor Luo was sincere or not, he had an "easy-going" face and intended to let Tom go.

But after William saw the newspaper, he immediately went into overdrive!

There's nothing else to it, Tom actually dared to have a woman outside of William's beloved niece, Denise!

Of course, William was also a seasoned politician, and he knew that the reports by Carl and others were purely based on hearsay, written for the sake of exposure and newspaper sales.

William was still furious and wanted to contact Tom to give him a good warning.

William sat at his Vanderbilt estate in Washington, D.C., and after reading the newspaper, he rushed to the phone, intending to give Tom a good warning.

But Ellie hung up the phone as soon as he picked it up.

Ellie grinned slyly and mocked William, "You wouldn't let Tom and Denise marry back then, so what right do you have to interfere with Tom now?"

William understood that, no matter what, Tom was just Dani's boyfriend.

Given the prevailing social norms in America, it would be perfectly reasonable for Tom to dump Denise tomorrow.

William had no intention of warning Tom about his identity.

William's face turned even redder with anger. He could only hang up the phone and, unwilling to admit defeat, retorted, "Tom is about to become a senator."

"If he becomes a senator and doesn't dare to marry Diane."

"Even if I die, I'll still tear off two pieces of Tom's skin!"

"My little Dani, how worried you must be right now~"

The "little Dani baby" that William mentioned, who was far away in New York City, was happily munching on a pork knuckle, showing no signs of worry or sadness.
